Start Tec Diving
The PADI Tec Basics course is your ideal entry into the world of technical diving. Designed for divers curious about tec gear, sidemount, and staged decompression without jumping straight into full tec commitment, this course delivers hands-on training in advanced dive equipment and foundational skills.
At Seawave Diving Phuket, you’ll train in twinset or sidemount, learn to manage stage tanks, perform simulated decompression stops, and build dive plans using technical gas planning techniques. Whether you’re preparing for Tec 40, or just want to refine your buoyancy and gear handling — Tec Basics gives you a solid and practical foundation.
